This picture is from 2011 when I was relearning how to make natural stone topped folk art tables.    This was my 4th table. I found the base in the local recycle yard.  The thin sandstone was from the Western Stone quarry / stone yard in Lyons Colorado.  The rim was a problem.  I hammered a thin copper tube, bent it into a circle and closed the loop with brass rivets.    This, I learned, does not make for a rim that you would want on your dinning room table!    It took me two years to figure out how to reliably make rims....that happened in 2013 with my 20th table.
